The Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS) Karel Doorman was officially put into service in the Royal Netherlands Navy on 29 April. The largest ship of the Dutch navy is now called His Majesty (Zr. Ms.) Karel Doorman. "The Karel Doorman is impressive in size, but also because of the number of functionalities. This ship is literally a multi-tool, "said Commander of Naval Forces lieutenant-general Rob Verkerk at commissioning.
US Naval Air Systems Command plans to fly the first Bell V-22 Osprey made of 3D printed parts sometime this year, according to its vice commander Rear Adm. Francis Morley. During his speech at the Sea-Air-Space exhibition, he said that the first flight will be the critical test that will prove the value of the technology in manufacturing critical parts.

Sea-Air-Space 2016 Daily Video Coverage: Day 1 - Distributed Lethality
 
Navy Recognition's Day 1 video coverage at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space 2016 Exposition: Distributed Lethality. The distributed lethality concept was introduced (and is being advocated) by Vice Admiral Thomas Rowden, the Commander of the U.S. Navy's surface forces. It can be summarized by fitting more weapons on more vessels in order to "deceive the enemy, target the enemy, and destroy the enemy".
